NEw YORK, Jan. 23.—Half a million people Will draw long breaths of relief when they have read the following dispatch to-day, de- tailing the narrow escape of Nellie Bly from a horrible death, and many a devout thanksgiv- ing will ascend thai the Providence which has watched over her adventurous journey thus far has averted what might have been a terri- ble catastrophe. Here is the story: GALLUP, N. M., Jan, 22.—Nellie Bly will only know how narrowly she eS8caped death to-day when she reads this. She passed here on a train running at the rate of over fifty miles an hour. Three miles east ofthis place the track repairers were replacing the stringers on the bridge over a deep canyon. he rails were in place, but only held up by jackscrews. The workmen heard the special coming and tried to flag it, but they were toolate. The engine and car went thundering over the rayine and passed over safely. The escape/is a miracu- lous one, and sectionmen who witnessed the train flash past on its struw-like structure regard the escape as one gf the most marvel- ‘ousin rallway history. The train beariwg Nellie Bly over the At- lantic & Pacifie” Railroad dashed into Albu- querque, N./M., at 9:45. o’clock last night, Gisco. The distance is about fifteen hundred miles, or nearly half the way across the conti- nent. From this point her journey lies over the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system, through the southeastefn corner of Colorado, thence crossing the State of Kansas to Kansas City, Mo., diagonally across Missouri, cutting offacorner of Iowa and humming over the Iilinois prairies to Chicago, where itis hoped she willarrive in season to connect with the famous Pennsylvania limited to-morrow night. The fair traveler, on the seventieth day of her journey, isreportedto bein good health and spirits. oe - SC. Miss Bly’s Account of Her Journey. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Readers of the Post- DISPATCH will recognize inthe following dis- patch, written bythe fair tourist herself, to to the rhythm of aswaying coach, the indom- itable spirit and surpassing pluck of the WORLD’S chosen standard-bearer in the four quarters of theearth. Here is her own story: ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 22.—We are doing pretty well I think. Thirty-six hours in America, andI have traveled 1,500 There isonly one place this can be done, and it’s just here in America. If the success of my trip depended on the En- glish trains I would doubtless be able to still have a bird’s eye view of San Francisco wrapped in a rug and my feet in a foot- warm- er. If my round-the-world tour could have been made at the same speed 1 am now mak- ing it would have taken me less than twenty- four days to girdle the earth. I hopeto bein New York early Saturday night. How glad I shalibe to see the grand old city again, and the sooner I reach there the happier I will be. It is strange, but time has never passed slower to me than it has since I set foot upon Ameri- can soil. Lamsoanxiousto be home again. We travel so fast that it is almost impossible to Write inthe car. The Pullman drawing- room car, San Lorenzo, is coupled to the engine, and this constitutes our train. Ihave every confidence in American rail- roads. They are athousand per cent ahead of the European roads. They are cleaner, better managed and run with greater speed. Why, on this road—Atlantic & Pacific—on which I am now journeying, some Ssurpris- ingly quick time has been made. Supt. Andrew Smith, whoison the train with us, told me thataspecial train was run from Albuquerque, N. M., to Holbrook, Ariz., 253 miles, in 289 ntinutes, for E. J. Simpson of the Aztec Land & Coal Co., whose chiid was sick. The father brought a doctor that distance ata cost of $300 to save the little one, but un- fortunately the child died. When weestop at stations a crowd is gathered who call for mé, and will not be satisfied until I appear on the rear platform to receive their greetings, and sometimes the ladies come Into the car and ask me questions and say all kinds of pretty things, mostly un- deserved, about myself and mytrip. I feel a little like a Presidential candidate. Iam gurprised atthe large number of my own sex out in these almost desert places, who know my name and have heard something of my newspaper doings. My first greeting upon getting up this morning, was the following telegram: | ARIZONA’S GREETING. WILLIAMS, Ariz., Jan. 22. To Miss Nellie Bly: Brave young American, rough but honest Arizona greets you with a rousing cheer. ARIZONIAN. The ladies whocame into the car takea look atits contents, and seem specially in- terested in a red and brass temple chair, presented tomeinChina. Itis a large awk- ward contrivance, it whieh nothing but a broken backed joss could sit with any com- fort. The monkey which I got in Singapore also interests them. He Iis an Intelligent monkey, but very bad tempered. Ne bit sey- eral personson the steamer Oceanic. I keap him caged, with his bars toward the window, go he cun seé the country as we skim along. My visitors ask one question very earnestly: ‘*Miss Bly,’’ they say, ‘‘will- you win? Will you make it in seventy-fve days?’” When I tell them I expect tu be in New York within seventy-three days from thetime] left there, they seem pleased. The sex manifestly re- joice in the fact that a woman is going to beat the record of an imaginary man who, in M. Jules Verne’s mind, once made the tour of the world ineighty days. The discomfiture of Phineas Fogg delights them. Such is wom- an’s love for woman. lentered Arizona about daylight this morn- ing. Wewere at‘‘The Needles’’ at 4:30 a. m. Arizona is not thickly settlea. There are few communities of more than twoor three hundred souls. Mostof the stations are sec- tion houses. The ride through the San Fran- cisco range has been quite exciting. Isat in the engine coming over the Arizona divide and Engineer Charlies Wood rashly gave me charge of thelever. Every now and then I pulled the throttle wide open, and you should see us spin slong. When we had a straight lece of track | let the great machine go for al! was worth, and 1 am sure nothing ever went ew the Atlantic @ Pacific tr rin quicker the Southern Pacific, the engine, and he gays that he never saw quicker running. : CROSSING SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS. We were up 8,000 feet above sea level. I got + on the engine at Williams and rode to Flag- staff Mountain, one of the highest of the San Francisco range. We could see Fiagstaff’s snow-covered peak for thirty miles. It has snow on it eleven months in the year. I am toid first it was on one side of the engine and then on the other, the windings ofthe track, making itappear to change its position. I kept one eye on the track and the other on Flagstaff Peak and watched myself approach it. When Engineer Wood wasn’t looking I’d give the lever a little pull, geton a little more steam and _e revel the greedy manner in which - gine 93, a splendid eight-wheeler swailowed up the track. Perhaps the engine didn’t roll; Fireman Sid Armstrong had ali he could do to keep his feet, and once or twice seemed trying to follow his shovel and coal into the furnace. Aman away aheadon the track would on moment look the size of a pin. I’d blow the whistle and he would no sooner step to one side than we would be whizzing past him. I saw one man hold his haton as we wentby. The telegraph poles came and went like flashes of lightning. For a new engineer, the master mechanic said I was arushing success. We crossed the divide a little after noon and then pushed the lever and closed the throttle. I was given cnarge of the air brake, which I managed under Mr. Woods’ direction. There is an incline from the summit to the town of Flagstaff of 3,000 feet, and no steam is used in going down. At Chalender, before reaching the summit, I saw the former battlefield of the Supai and Navajo Indians. OVER A FAMOUS CANYON, At FlagstaffI leftthe engine and resumed my place Inthe coach. We crossed the fa- mous canyon Diablo, which yawned 3800 feet beneath, at the speed of forty miles an hour. It was here, years ago, four cowboys robbed an Atlantic & Pacific train, and got the con- tents of the Wells-Fargo strong box. Mr. C. k’. Holton, one of the posse who followed the robbers 600 miles on horseback, and after three battles withthem captured the quartet, is now a special officer of the Atlantic & Pacific Co., and forms partof my escort from Mojave to Albuquerque,and we crossed the line into New Mexico at 4 p. m. exactly. From the car windows I have seen many Navajo Indians jogging along on their ponies: their reserva- tion is about twenty jmiles north of the Atlantic & - Pacific track. In a cottonwood grveve whith we passed, near Hol- brook, Gen, (rook had one of. his famous bat- tles with the Navajos. Il havea buffet car and we therefore do not stop for meals. Our only stops are occasional stations where we ‘change engines. We had a warm dinrer, ordered by Mr. Donaldson of which was sent in at Winslow. It was a fine dinner, but we were obliged to give so much attention to keeping it on the tables, owing to the speed of the train, that our appetites hadn’t exactly a fuir chance. _At Winslow Mr. R. M. Bachellor, Assistant General Freight and Passenger Agent of the Atlantic & Pacific, and Dr. Jere- mliah Sullivan, the toad Surgeon, joined us on the train. Supt. Smith of the Atlantic & Pacific leaves us at Alburquer- que and Mr. Bachellor will form part of my escort to Chicago. Mr. Donaldson also re- inains with us to Chicago. We came from Winslow to Coolidge, N. M., this afternoon, 150 miles, in exactly three hours. A little while later we crossed the continental divide, the highest point of the Rocky Mountains. The elevation where the Atlantic & Pacific road crosses is 7.200 feet above the sea level. CONGRATULATORY TELEGRAM. At Coolidge I received the following tele- gTam: WINSLow, Ariz., Jan. 22. To Nellie Bly: It is pardonable in us as Americans to say that your indomitable willand pluck are but characteristic of model young America. Get there, Nellie Bly, and God bless you. WINSLOW, ARIZONA. At7:15p. m. we pagsed Layuna, an Indian Village in which the houses are doorless and windowless and the tenants go in and out through theroof. Itis 300 years old and has two bells brought trom Spain that bear date of 1530. There are 1,200 Indians and three white men who have married Indian girls and who have been each in turn elected Governor ofthe village. lt was grow- ing dark when we passed Layuna and I didn’t see muchofit. I wishI could have seen the place in daylight it would haye been so inter- esting I think. At Albuquerque, which we reached at 9:35 Pp. m., there was a good surprise for meé. It is the largest town we passed to-day. Itis merged in the oldor Spanish town and the modern settlement. There are about 10,000 inhabitants. When we pulled into the depot there w&e a great crowd. A large delezation of citizens and councilmen with ladies, headed by MayorG. W. Meylert, came into the car and greeted me. They wanted to hear my story and said all kinds of complimentary things about my trip. The ladies and gentlemen spent some time in the carand when we parted they wished me all kinds of good luck. They were giad to hear that I would be in New York within sey- enty-three days of my departure from there. I have just heard of McGinty. Isn’t it sad? NELLIE BLY.

The Trip in Detatl. By Telegraph tothe POStDispParon. . NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Now that the intense interest in Nellie Bly’s attempt to outdo the record of Verne’s mythical hero is reaching a climax, a brief review of her extraordinary trip may not be outof place. With a diminu- tive hand-satchel for baggage and without maid or escort the WORLD’s globe-circling commissioner started on the morning of -No- vember 14, 1889, to accomplish what no woman had ever attempted before—the circumnavi- gation of the globe. It was a bold and in some respects a hgzardous undertaking for a girl — bold because it was without a parallel, and hazardous because a journey of over twenty-five thousand miles by a variety of conveyances through strange lands, andin company with strange people, neces.- sarily contained many elements of danger. When Jules Verne brought forth those delight- ful creations—Phineas Fogg and Jean Passepartout — with attention to detail that rivaied Dean Swift’s most ingenious effort, readers were amused and delighted with the author’s skill in formulating a schedule that permitted his heroes to circle the earth in exactly eighty days, but no one of them for an instant believed that the charmingly told tale hada single stone of fact in its foundation. Now comes a@ woman—a very young woman— who not only demonstrates the pos- of such a trip being completed in such a time, but who will in all probability beat it. Unless some unforeseen accident occurs Nellie Bly will make the journey around the world, from east to west, inside of seventy-five days. AT SOUTHAMPTON. Thelong journey was begun on the steamer Augusta Victoria, with Southampton as the first destination, and it was reached early on the morning of November 22. The voyage across the Atlantic wastempestuous. Off the banks of Newfoundland the fog was almost dense enough to cut, and up to the time anchor was cast there had been scarcely a day ofsmooth sailing. Although the vessel made excellent time under such circumstances she was too late to catch the last regular passen- ger train that should have been caught to make connection with the early morning London train. Accustomed, however, to over- coming difficulties, Miss Bly did not let this disappointment ruffle her in the least. There was a heavy mall on board, and this the authorities were anxious to get to London ex- peditiousiy. A post-oflice train was in wait- ing at Southampton, and on it the traveler succeeded in securing a passage,going asbore on atug, which came out to meet her. The mailtrain was whirled through to the me- tropolis, arriving there at 5 o’clock in the morning. It was a tiresome trip and, although feeling pretty wellehakenup, Miss Bly was driven at once to the office of Second Secretary of the United States Legation McCorimick, to get her passport. Then she wentto the Lon- don oftices of the WORLD to meet several Lon- don journalists who wanted to wish her God speed. After breakfast atthe Charing Cross Hotel she took the tidal train via Folkestone and Boulogne for Amiens to meet Jules Verne, MEETS JULES VERNE. The great novelist and his wife had been ap- prised of her coming and were anxiously awaiting her. Miss Bly stepped off the train at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and received the warmest sort of a greeting. Mme. Verne was surprised at the visitor’s youth and could scarcely be- lieve that she really intended to make thetour of the world without even as much us a maid. Fearliullest she mixzht miss her connection Miss bly made careful inquiry as to the start- ing of the train for Calais and the time of its arrival. After satisfying herseif on this point with a most masculine positiveness and much to the amusement of Mr. Verne and his amia- ble spouse, the young American was driven to the novelist’s chateau. Then it be- came her turn to be amused. Her host and hostess treated her precisely as they would have treated a re- markably bright or interesting child. They could not believe thatthe rather fragile look- ing girl was actually in earnest,and when they were convinced that she was their astonish- ment knew no bounds, It came time to say good-bye at last, and although Mme. Verne spoke very little English and Miss Nellie very little French, the parting was affectionate. Jules Verne shook hands with his visitor half a dozen times, and after she had entered her cab waved his hand, while his wife fluttered a handkerchief until the visitor was out of sight. ON THE INDIAN MAIL. When Miss Nellie arrived at Calais she found she had two hoursto spare before the famous Brindisi train made its start. She had sent a cable message from London before leaving there to the home office of the WORLD, and from Calais she sent another to show that her flying trip to the home of the French noy- eiist had not delayed her. It had been necessary tosecure a berth on the Indian Mail, asthe Brindisitrain is com- monty called, thirty-six hours in ad- vance. Miss Bly had traveled to some extent in her own country, and on rapid transit trains, too. But she had never been on sucha ‘‘fiyer’’ as the Indian Mail. in the 1,500 miles between Calais and the terminal point it stopped only eleven timesandonly three minutes at each station. The train was on time, and Miss Bly boarded the steamer Victoria of the Peninsula & Oriental line at2o’clock on the morning of November 25. IN THE SUEZ CANAL. Her route was across the Mediterranean to the Suez Canal, which did not impress the traveler greatly, for she wrote home that It ‘‘looked -Iike ail other canals, only a little wider.’’ Ismalia was reached November 28. THROUGH THE RED SEA. Then the route lay through the Red Sea and on to Aden, that bare rock at the southern extremity of Arabia. The weather was balmy, almost enervating In its delicious softness, but Miss Nellie did not neglect her diary fora single hour. From Aden to Colombo, on the Island of Ceylon, the passage occupied six days, December 2to 8 IN CEYLON. Charmed as she had teen by the rapidly moying panorama i stretched before her since leaving London, the traveler was in Yraptures over the beauties of Ceylon, The tea gardens, the new and strange forms of vegetation, the giant bamboos, the quaint ox teams and the queer looking craft in tbe harbor opened anew world to her. She had two days to spare before starting for Singapore, and she made the bestof her time. Nobody would ever think of going to Ceyion without visit- ing the Kandy Temple and inspecting Buddha’s tooth, Miss Nellie possesses about the average curiosity of her sex,and naturally sue made a pligrimage to the temple. It is about three hours’ ride from Colombo, There she saw a strange-looking structure, and in- side of it, reposing in a golden box, that wonderful tooth. It is a curious object— not unlike a boar’s tusk in conformation, and about as long as an ordinary fore-finger. Then she saw the ground where the Chicago and Ail America teams played base ball and in all truth ‘‘astonished the natives.’’ Good-bye was said to Colombo with some regret De- cember 10, andthe P. and O. steamer headed for Singapore, an island lying south of the Malayan Peninsula. To reach this the vessel passed through the Straits of Malacca, where in days gone by wicked and blood-thirsty pirates had a cheerfal habit of scuttling ships and cutting the throats of honest mariners. But Miss Nellie saw no pirates and arrived at ery oe safely andin good heaith Decem- er 18. JUST HALF WAY AROUND. She was then just half way around the world and about as faras she could get from home without leaving the earth altogether. A very short stay was made atthis point, and the cir- cumnavigator did notdisembark. Anchor was weighed in the afternoon and off the steamer puffed for Hong Kong. The voyage was fairly sinooth and pleasant with one day’s rainy weather. The harbor of the great city was entered the day before Ohristmas, and Miss Nellie ate her Christmas dinner there. ‘ AT HONG KONG. There was a ester of four days in Hong Kong, and Miss Nellie devoted the time to wondering at the strange people and their strange waysand to shopping. This vacation was quickly over, and threo days after Christ- mas, with the thermometer standing at 60 degs., Miss Bly set sailfor Yokahoma, arriv- ing there January 2. A LONG DELAY. Then came another wait of five days for the mail steamship Oceanic, and while the trav- eler must have felta little anxious about the result of the two delays there was no help for it, so she epent the time to the best advantage. Calls were madeon several of the American residents, after having first visited the Amer- ican Consul, and then allthe sights that were to be seen in five days received attention. Next to the Island of Ceylon the stay in Japan was probably the most enjoyable part of the world circling journey. CROSSING THE PACIFIC. Then came the iast and; longest t water—across tue Pacific Ocean—4,750 na milesto San Francisco.

CARONDELET JOTTINGS. Coal for the Poor—Sentenced for Wife Beat- ing—Painfully LlnjJured—Other Matters. W. 8. Haddaway, acoal dealer, notified the police this morning that he had 100 bushels of coalin his sheds, at Krauss street and the Iron Mountain Railway, which he would give to the most needy of the poor here. The coal will be delivered in ten-pushel lots to those recommended, Miss Carrie Johnston, a well-known young lady, while aboutto stepintoa carriage that was standing in front of her residence on the Gravois road last evening, slipped and fell, striking her forehead on the step, cutting a severe gash over the eyes. The old Blow mansivn, which for years bas stood as a landmark, will, within a few months, be torn down. Messrs. F. W. Mott, QO. A. Haines and several other gentlemen have purchased the old homestead. The work of repairing the Jupiter Iron- works is being rapidly pushed. About fifty men are engaged in testing the engines and machinery and repairing the ore and iron yards. An iron smoke stack, which will reach over a hundred feet in height, Is being bullt. The stock sheds are being filled with ore, coke andcoal. It is quite evident that by February 1 the works will be ready for resumption. Henry Heinstein of De Soto, Mo., and Miss Anna Romlike of this place were quietly wedded yesterday. Henry Smith, an employe of Kilpatrick’s Iron Foundry, was painfully burned about the face yesterday afternoon by the bursting of some iron metal inthe pit. Smith was quickly removed to his residence, No. 918 Iron street, where Dr.Thos. Reber was summoned and dressed his face.

FRANK BROS. Broadway & W ashington AW WANT THECALL STOPPED MOVEMENT ON ’CHANGE TO ABOLISH THE CALL ON FUTURES. A Petition to Be Presented to the Board of Directors Asking for the Abolition of the Fature Call—Many Pronounce It a Cleg Upon Business—Reasons for the OR many months there have been fre- quent expressions on the floor of the Mer- chants’ Exchange fa- vyoring the abolition of the daily call on futures. These ex- pressions of opinions, however, were not followed byany action, and the matter was allowed to dip out. But since the election of a new Board of Director» it has again been taken gp, and the probabilities are thatere longa petition will be presented to the Board of Directors, asking that the call on futures be abolished. THIS MOVEMENT bas its origin among the wrain men, but has friends in alldepartments. Those who favor the abolition of the call board on futures say that instead of an assistance to trade, it acts as a very decided impediment. In former time, when trading was far lighter than It is pow, and when the element of time was less important, the future call was of great use, but under present conditions it is a hindrance ratherthanahelp. This is largely due to the mumber of orders received from other cities that must be executed in- etantiy. A large proportion are what isknown as ‘‘spreads’’ and must be filled within gve or ten minutes. If a wheat com- mission merchat receives one of these it may be that oats or corn are being called, and he can get no opportunity of exacting his com- mission until the time during which it is good bas expired. AN ANTIQUATED SYSTEM. St. Louis has, itis said, lost a great deal of trade by reason of the time occupled by the call, as it is in progress at the very time that orders are received in the greatest numbers. Were the trading in futures confined - the the great m ity cae the or now have to remain 9 anailed | onlyc large grain market in the country. Not —. is it thought that future trading will be benefited by an alteration, but those desirous of Duying cash wheat will also trans- act their business much more easily, as buyer and seller will be brought together at once, and the search for cash wheat on the floor, which is now s0 common an occurrence, will no longer be necessary. THERE I8 NO INTENTION to abolish the call board, as all recognize the necessity of its existence, but the desire of those who are agitating the inatter is to con- fine the calltocash wheat exclusiveiy, and have all trading in futures done in the pit. In otber lines of trade, such as corn, barley and provisions, no movement to 42o away with the future call bas yet taken shape, Dut the present agitation is cerned with wheat. Those who are in favor of retaining the present system state that itis working very well and that the in- conveniences cited amount to nothing. The whole matter will probably be presented to the Board of Directors at an early date. SILK UMBRELLAS, 1,200 of the finest to be closed out at very, very low prices at MERMOD & JACCARD’S, Cor.

The Elliotts were not at home andthe mob destroyed tie contents oftheir house. Next night they tried to catch him at the house of a neighbor, but were thwarted. Elliott, however, has left the place. Officers yesterday arrested thirteen men, mostiy young men of prominent fam- ilies, on suspicion of being the White Caps. They are Charies Fleming and Daniel Ball, Ben, Ernest, David, Richard and Caleb Wil- cox; W. F. and George Holbrook, Wm. Sieeth, Tighiman Eaton and Charles and Edward Pasten. They all gave bond for appearance at trial next St&turday. No cause for attack on Mr. Elliott has been made known. ‘DON’T FORGET T0 REMEMBER’’ The slaughter prices advertised by the re- . tall merchants in this issue of the Post- DISPATOH. Paducah’s Danger.

Brice’s apologists and defenders of the boodle route to theSenate have too hastily assumed that the nest-hiding in his case would be as effective in suppressing proofs of technical bribery as it was in the Payne case. They have loudly demanded that specifications of technical bribery should be preferred against BRICE or that all aspersion of his election should cease. In response to this demand, the New York WORLD has produced the following rather specific statement from JOHN H. THOMAS, the Springfield (O.) millionaire, whowas Mr. Brice’s competitor in the bidding for the Senatorship: ‘‘Yes, sir, itistrue that M. T. EGGERMAN, Representative from Hardin County, received money from me, and then by an offer from BRICE deserted my standard, showing himself to be a man totally destitute of honorand man- hood. I gavé Mr. EGGERMAN over $6,000 for what work he might do for me. Until the final clash of arms he stayed by me. Then by a promise from BRICE of more money, he léft meand the matter ended by his voting for BRICE.’’ Mr. THOMAS further stated that there are fifteen other Representatives who did practi- celly the same act. As soon as be is able, Mr. THOMAS will furnish a complete report of the selling-out, giving namesand other interest- ing information. This is a statement by a pecuniarily re- sponsible man that he had bought the support of M. T. EGGERMAN, a member of the Legislature, and paid $6,000 for it, but failed to get it because BrRICE paid more money forit. Canthey ask for a charge more responsibly or more specifically made than this? And Mr. THOoMas prom- ises to name fifteen more members of the caucus who first sold their votes to him and then resold them to BRICE for more money. ee THE hanging of Secretary PROCTOR’S effigy at Aberdeen, Miss., on account of his refusal tolower the War Department flag on the death of ex-Secretary JEFFER- SON DaVIsS, was the act of a single in- dividual named HENRY J. FRANZ. The people disapproved of the act and were so indignant that they hunted FRANZ down, and kicked and cuffed him as they dragged him to the Court-house, where he was firmed $0 for his disorderly conduct. But because some people in the crowd thought he had been abused too inuch, and raised money enough to pay his fine and buy the poor man a much needed suit of coarse clothes, Senator CHANDLER proposes to investigate the maltreatment of FRANZ and to prove that the abuse of him was a mere ‘bun- combe’’ show of indignation and that the purse raised for him was the true ex- pression of popular feeling. What a mousing owl this Senator CHANDLER is! i 2 THE synopsis which the New York WORLD published of the Samoan treaty two weeks before it was signed, eight months ago, is now fully verified bv the copy publishedin another New York pa- per. As the Wortp has charged all along it involves us in an entangling al- liance with two European powers toset up and maintain a monarchic Government in Samoa and to maintain a joint protec- torate over that country which leaves its people only the mocking semblance of autonomy. It binds us to do in Samoa what our government refused to do with reference to the Congo State, and has hitherto steadily refused to do anywhere. It utterly disregards the warning of WASHINGTON’S Farewell Address against “entangling alliances” with European powers. oO THE 126 members of the House who voted for a bill providing that the Treas- ury should pay again the salaries already paid to SitcoTT for them, had all of them signed receipts for the same and author- ized SiLtcorr to collect the money for them.

Washington Post, says that the vote on this Silcott bill stamps itasa Republican party measure, in spite of all declarations tothe contrary.

Annan, Burg & Oo., one of the lead- ing commission firms of St. Louis, have in- formed some of their customers in this city that instead of the usual price current they will inthe future sendthem the daily Post- DISPATCH containing full market reports. This is a plece ofenterprise that oughtto com- mend this firm to the favor of business men. Of course a 4aily paper costs a great déal more than the little circular ordinarily sent out, but it will also result in immense advan- tage to St. Louis and be the means of bringing a great dealof business to that city. Such unselfish liberality on the part of these gentle- men shows them to be broad-gauged business men of such character as it must be a pleasure to deal with. The example of this firm could be followed with profit by business men of other places,and this applies to Tipton as well as any other place. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Going Back on Itself. To the Editor af the Post- Dispatch: The St. Louts Republic has on several recent occasions, and tosome length in the issue of January 21, taken occasion to protest edi- torlally that there is no ‘‘race war’’ in Upper Alton. It charges ‘‘a number éof ignorant editors in various parts of the country’’ with ‘‘writing about what they call a ‘race war.’ ’’ Now, while it is true that there isno ‘‘race war’’ in Upper Alton, the Republic is largely responsible for the fact that ‘‘ignorant editors’’ are saying s0, as the first account published by other than local papers, »* peared in the Republic, and was headed in full-face type, ‘‘Race War at Alton, Ill.,’’ or words to thateffect, and the article itself con- veyed that impression. Itis certainly right and proper for the Republic to use every effort to correct this impression, but it heed not go abroad to find ‘‘ignorant editors’’ wbo have disseminated this erroneous report. Re- spectfully, A CITIZEN OF UPPER ALTON. Upper Aiton, Ill., Jan. 22. Another Fake. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: While you are showing up the fakes of the Republic do not omit the following, which ap- peared in last Sunday’s paper: ‘*There is a horrible story about our young men going the rounds of English fashion papers to the effect that ‘young men in the States are inthe habit of ‘‘fixing up’’ their complexions.’ ‘They only do it in the even- ings,’ Truth goes on to tell, ‘when they are going outto entertainments.’ A description ofa ‘society young man’s’ toilet table then follows. ‘The powder box was oxidized silver and crystal, aod the powder was lily white. Beside it lay a little boxofrouge. Thesponge wherewith to apply the latter had a silver handle to match the silver-backed mirror and brushes. A young man of this artistic, if arti- ficially-minded society, was married a few weeks ago, and his trousseau cost as much as his bride’s. He had six dozen of one garment, in two colors, pink and blue China silk, laced with gold cord, and the embroidery was ex- quisite. His braces were of colors to suit his other wear, and they were embroidered with gold and silver, and his corsets, too, were varied and costly. There is a breezy virility about the whole subject that commends it to one’s attention,’ winds up the English corre- spondent, and toclinch the probability of the story, Vanity Fair can add that justsuchba wurdrobe is in preparation for a young groon- elect who is to be married very soon.’”’ I remember reading this in the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH about two months ago, when it was original and new and good.

Was Issued, And Now Ex-Gov. Thos. T. Critten- den Is Scheming to Reor- ganize the Rotten Concern, The Law Provides That the Punishment for Filing False Affidavits With the In- surance Commissioner in Order to Ob. tain a License, Shall Be a Fine of $1,000 and Imprisonment in the County Jail for Not Less Than Two Months or in the Penitentiary for Not More Than Five Years—The Affidavits Filed by Gov. Crittenden and James 8. Warden Said Not to Have Truly Presented Facts. It will be rather strange if the collapse of fraudulent Midland Insurance Co. does not result in the commencement of criminal pros- ecutions against its officers by the authorities In Kansas City, where the company was or- ganized. The law is plain. Under the statutes ex-Gov. Crittenden, the president, and all the other officers of the company who made affidavit to it solv- ency are answerable. It has been shown clearly through the investigation of the in- surance Department that the representations made by the affidavits of ex-Goy. Orit- tenden and others as to th com- pany’s paid up capital stock were absolutely false. Not over haif the required amount of capital stock if that much, was actually paid up and deposited in bank as is required, P THE FACTS OF THE CASE. The law says that at least $100,000 must have been eubscribed and paid in as capital before any insurance company can obtain a license to do business in the State. In case any company shall obtain a license through false representations of its Officers, punishment !s provided for those making the false affidavits. This punishment is not more than five years in the penitentiary nor less than two years in the county jail and a fine not exceeding $1,000. The license to the Midland Co, was issued to Supt. Carr on the certificates as to the capital stock filed with him by Gov. Crittenden, the company’s President, and James 8. Warden, a director, and the cashier of the bank in which the money was alleged to have been depos- ited. These affidavits were unquestionably false. In them the makers asserted that the company’s capital of $125,000 was its bona fide property. This was un- true. Not half the capital stock had been subscribed forand paid in. For $35,000 worth of it simply notes had been given and deposited in Warden’s bank. Here is Gov. Crittenden’s affidavit: CRITTENDEN’S SWORN STATEMENT. State of Missouri, Jackson County, Kanaas City, ss. Thomas T. Crittenden, President, and C. D. McCoy, Secretary, being duly sworn depose and say that they are respec- tively the above described officers of the Mid- land Accident Insurance Co. of Kansas City, Mo..and that the money amounting tothe sum of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000) exhibited this day to Alfred Carr, Superintendent of the Insurance Depart- ment of the State of Missouri, is the bona fide property of the said company free and clear of any liens or claims thereon whatever. THOMAS T. CRITTENDEN, President. C. D. McCoy, Secretary. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 16th day or February, 1839. HENRY HUSTON CRITTENDEN, Notary Public. It is clear that the ex-Governor has sworn to what he knew to be false or what he did not know to betrue. Warden, however, it is claimed, cannot enter the plea of ignorance, because he accepted as capital stock of the company $35,000 in notes. Notes are not property. The instituting of prosecution against the officers of the company forviolating the law, does not rest with the Insurance Commis- sioner Ellerbe, He has nothing to do with it. The responsibility rests on the authorities of Jackson County. Superintendent Ellerbe’s duty in the premises ends with compelling the company tosettle its indebtedness and pre- venting it by law from continuing in business. He has already revoked itslicense and will see thata settlement with the policy holders is effected. He sent his attorneys up to Kansas City again lastevening for that pur pose. When the policy holders are paid, and all indebtedness of the company paid Supt. Ellerbe’s authority « ceases. If any further action is to be token it must be done by the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson County or the Grand-jury. Itis said that the matter will be brought up before the Grand-jury. The Insurance Commissioner and his attor- neys who have couducted the _ inves- tigation of the company’s affairs, admit that there is no uestion but that the affidavits filed by Gov. Critten- den, the Midland Company’s president, and James 8. Warden, one of the directors, did not truly present facts; that they were mis- leading tothe department, and that the law was violated by them. These, then, being the facts, here is the law covering the Case: THE LAW. : Src. 5932. Examination of Companies.— The Superintendent ofthe Insurance Depart- ment shall have power to inquire into all vio- lations of insurance laws of the State, and may at any time examine the financial condl- tion, affairsjand management of any insur- ance company incorporeted by or doing buai- ness in this State, and inquire into and in- vestigate the business of insurance transacted in this State, and mayrequire any company, its officers, agents, employes or attorneys, or other persons, to produce, and may examine, all its assets, contracts, books and papers; may compel the attendance before him, an may examine, under oath, its directors, officers, agents, employes, solicitors, attor- neys, Or any other person, in reference to its condition, affairs, management or business, or any matter relating thereto; may admin- ister @aths or affirmations, and shall have power to summon and compel the at- tendance of witnesses, and to re- quire and compel the production of records, books, papers, contracts or other documents by attachment if necessary; and shall have the right to punish for contempt, by fine or imprisonment, or both, any person failing or refusing to obey ang.such summons ororder of said Superintendent.

For the purpose of mak- ng such examinations, oF having the same made, the Superintendent may employ the necessary clerical, actuarial and other as- sistance.

HOW THE LICENSE WAS OBTAINED, Mr. Alfred Carr, ex-Insurance OCommis- Sioner, under whose administration the license tothe Midland was issued, was very much surprised when he read of the cancella- tion of the license iu the Post-D1ispaToH. He was seen this morning and asked as to the issuance of the license, and particularly on what grounds it was issued. ° ‘The license,’’ he said, ‘‘was issued u- larly under the law. I had no option what- 6ver. The law requires a certain capital and &@ certain deposit, as the company may be of a life or fire character. The Commissioner acts on affidavits presented by the officers of the eg mag In this case I had affidavits from Goy. Crittenden and the Secretary of the company, as already pablienes in the PosT-DISPATCH, and one rom the cashier of the bank that the money, $100,000,was on deposit there. I presen that In making the affidavit Goy. Crittenden ac- cepted as fact the statement madeto him by those engaged inthe active management of the company.’’ Mr. Carr could not say what punishment there might be for making a false affidavit in such cases, As to anything else, the can- céllation of the license and the winding up of the company’s affairs would dis of it. The only thing was thatthe company I tal stock was not paid up, as stated in affidavit, and that its capital on deposit, of $100,000, if it ever had it, had peen impaired. Discovering this, Commissioner Ellerbe had very properly taken prompt actian. WILL ENJOIN THE COMPANY. r offered, urance How Lucas and Finney Avenue Property- Holders Will Fight the Lindell Railway. A meeting of property- holders and residents along the proposed route of the Lindell Elec. tric Railway was held last evening at O’Brien & Cullinaneés livery stables on Van deventer avenue to protest against the construction of the road. It was decided to fight the laying of a double track on Finney and Lucas avenues and the overhead wire system, there being no objec- tion to an underground electric system. Com- mittees were appointed to secure the signa- tures of the property holders of both streets to a remonstrance to be sent tothe House of Delegates. The members of the committees met to-day and drew up the following circular, which will be mailed to all property holders on Lucas avenue and Finney avenue along the proposed route: To the Residents of the West End: The time is at hand when you are called upon to defend your rights. A bill is now be- fore our local legislature granting a franchise to the Lindell Rallway Co. to construct and operate a double track road on Lucas, Grand and Finney avenues, with electricity as the motive power, and operated by overhead wires, which are at all times dangerous to life and property. We call on vou as an interested party to at- tend a mass meeting to be held on Saturday, the 25th inst., at 8 p. m., at the office of the stabies, corner of- Vandeventer avenue and Windsor place, for the purpose of adopting — measures as to insure the defeat of this The committee appointed at the last meet- ing is prepared to reporta plan of action to. the property owners which assures success.

THE CONFEDEKATE SOLDIERS’ HOME, The Management of Affairs Taansferred to the State Organization. This morning at llo’clocka meeting of the Confederate Benevolent Association of St. Louis was held at the Laciede§ Hotel. Theob- ject of the meeting was to take steps for securing funds for a home for the crippled Confederate soldiers of Missourl. The matter has been under discussion for some time, and it was determined that it would be best to interest the ex-Confederates of the entire State in the movement, and remove the local feature of the organization. The meeting was calied to order by T. J. Portis, President of the St. Louis association, and all the officers intrusted with the task of raising funds for an ex-Confeder- ate soldiers’ home handed in their resigna- tions. These were made in favor of the offi- cers of the State ex-Confederate Association. It was voted that the home should be located outside of the city of St. Louls, and thata committee be appointed to take chargs of the funds and devise means for raising more. This committee is to con- sistof James Bannerman, President of the State Association; W. P. Barlow, Secretary, and one member from each Congressional district. Contributions will be requested not only from Confederates, but also trom all who are charitably disposed. There are sey- eral thousand crippled veterans in the State, and the necessity for a home is very great. The following officers were elected: James Pannerman, President; Harvey Salmon of Clinton, Vice-President; H. A. Ricketts of Mexico, Mo., Treasurer; A. A. Lesseuer of Jefferson City, Secretary, and W. P. Barlow, Assistant Secretary. PREPARED FOR ANOTHER TERM. Patrick Condon, Recently Released From a Penitentiary, Shoots Jas, Dundon. Patrick Condon, who only three months age was released from Joliet (Iil.) penitentiary after serving a ten-year term for murder, last night shot his brother-in-law, James Dundon, alaborer employed in the city Sewer Depart- ment. The shooting occurred in the home of the latter, 115 South Fourteenth street. Dun- don’s explanation of the shooting is this: Condon’s mother lives in the rear of Dundon’s home and there Condon has been staying since his release from the Peni- tentiary. He has visited his sister, Mrs. Dun- don, several times, but this displeased Dun- don, whotold him he must not come there. Last night about 8 o’clock Condon tried to enter the Dundon house and was ordered out. Later he made a second attempt to enter and Dundoun, pane up anold sword, ordered him away. hen Condon fired. The ball entered Dun- don’s right chest and ranged down to the ab- domen. After treatment at the City Dispensary Dundon wassent home. He is dangerously hurt. Condon was arrested and identified by the wounded man. He was locked up atthe Four Courts.

THREE STORM-BATTERED OCEAN VESSELS ARRIVE AT HALIFAX. ferrible Experience of the Steamer Sorrento “ «Several Ships Overdue, and Fears Entertained for Their Safety — Heavy Snowfall and Extreme Cold in the North. west—Weather Reports From Various Points. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Jan. 23.—The Sorren- tofrom Hamburg for Newport, twenty-five days out; the Rhaetia from Hamburg for New York, fifteen days out, and the Egypt, from London to New York, twenty days out, ar- rived here last night badly battered. All three went through the terrific storm that has been raging at sea. Capt. Ferguson of the Sorrento, the worst-damaged ship of all, says that for the past twenty days ber deck has been from six inches to six feet under water. Everything was swept away except the deck houses, funnel] part of the bridge and steam windlass forward. The tron davits were twisted like ropes, and on January 11] the storm increased toahurricane. Water went down the funnel and put out three of the fires. The stokere were frightened into a frenzy and wanted to kill their officers. The second offi- cer was suspended on a line between the fore and mainmastinorder to keep from being swept off the bridge. He was torn loose, dashed tothe deck twenty feet below and sustained a compound fracture of the leg, The captain was swept filty feet along the deck and stopped in the wreck of one of the boats. His hand was mashed to a pulp before he was rescued. When the fires went out and the steam went down the ship lay in the trough oof the sea at the mercy of the waves. She listed heavily but sixty tons of cargo were thrown over- board and she righted again. Volunteers were called for to set the stay sail, but it was torn loose from ita iron fastenings 80 soon as it was hoisted. Canvas wasthrown against the rigging and the wind held it there, steadying the ship. Steam was made again and the Sorrento began anew the battle with the wind and waves. The Khaetia and Egypt struck the same gales. The Rhaetia had twenty-five cabin and 250 steerage passengers and there was a panic :mong the steerage passengers on Jan- uary 11, which was calmed with difficulty. All three steamers sail for New York to-day. The Dominion Line steamer Oregon, with Canadian malis and passengers, is five days overdue and there are fears for her. The Grasbrook from Hamburg for this port arrived damaged, but not lixe the others. Not a Johnston Line Steamer.

BERLIN, Jan. 23.—The Tagbdlatt says that the Government will withdraw the socialist bill from the Reichstag if that body rejects the clause authorizing the Government to expel Socialists from the country. The consideration of {the Socialistic bill was continued in the Reichstag to-day. After much debate the House adopted the eleventh, thirteenth and twenty-second clauses of the measure. pdMng the discussion, Herr Herr- furth, Minister ofthe Interior, tdeclared that the clause providing for the declaration of a minor state of siege where and whenever the Guvernment deems expedient was _ indis- pensabie and urged necessary. The period of the operation of the measure, be said, should not be restricted. Only a permanent measure would be efficacious. These clauses above mentioned relate to the suppression of periodicals and associations and to appeals against decisions. Herr Buhl said that the National Liberals were willing to vote fora permanent meas- ure. They were convinced of the danger of the Social Democracy and were resolved to protect the State but they must oppose the expulsion clause. The. House ultimately rejected the expul- sion clause and decided to make the measure permanent be a vote of 166 to lll, England.

Carefni in- qui in financial “circles has re- suited in showing that few had heard of the report and they were incredulous as to its accuracy. The chief official author- ities expressed tne opinion that the report was wholly without foundation in fact, They agserted positively that the Bank of England had made posuch purchase of bullion and was not buying silver now. Farther than this they declared that pur- chases of silver were being made by London banks.

TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 23.—Kansas railroad managers are becoming considerably alarmed because the Kansas City & Wyandotte North- west Co. has reduced the passenger rate in Kansas from3to2cents amile. It was done because of the roads entering the Union Depot at Kansas City refusing to admit the Wyandotte line. The action of the new road is quite likely to bring aboutan agitation of the question of lower transportation rates. An attorney for the Southern Kansas Railway said in an _ =interview: ‘I have found that to the average lezislator the proposition that a railroad is doing busi- ness ata loss is one some. of ridiculousness, andif the Wyandotte for six months does business for 2 cents a mile you can never make them believe that it is not profitable, and that all the roadsin the State cannot do the same. They will maintain that if the Wyandotte, anew road with but little through business, Can carry passengers for 2 cents a mile, the older and larger roads depending only in part on their loca! business can much better do so, and it will only be a very for- tunate gcombination of circumstances if the next Legislature does not make the maximum rate in the State 2 cents.’’ — An Aged Victim. AMESBURY, Mass., Jan. 23.—Mrs. Polly Os- good, who celebrated her 100th birthday Jan- vary 10, died Wednesday night of influenza. ————$ $$ THE FLEA. ” — 4, The Peculiarities and Immense Activity of This Little Animal—What It Teaches. The good old adage saying, ‘‘Never bein a hurry unless you are catching fleas,’’ hasa most Important bearing on our lives at the present day, and froin it we can learn a fact well worthy of sober thought. Doctors tell us (and for once they are right) that we are liv- ing too fast. We eat, work, play, do business all with a rush. We take proper time for nothing. We sleep too little, worry too much, exercise not half enough, read and study too continuously. As aconsequence, brain soft- ening, paralysis, early deaths, intemperance, dyspepsia. constipation, neuralgia, and ner- vous exhaustion are far too common.’ Our In- sane asylums are daily becom ing more crowd- ed,we hear more of sieeplesesness,our suicides are becoming almost hourly occurrences. Our advice isto ‘‘gosilow,’’ take life easier and use some good tonic and brain food like Regers’ Koyal Nervine, which is unequaled for this purpose. Catarrh to Consumption. Catarrh in ite destructive force stands next to and undoubiedly leads on to consumption. It is therefore singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease should not make it the object of their lives to rid themselves ofit. Deceptive remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge have weakened the confidence of the great majority of suf- ferers in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to a life of misery rather than torture them- selves with doubtful palliatives. But this will never do. Catarrb must be met at every stage and combated with all our might. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerons symp- toms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the organs ot hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so in- flamed and irritated as to produce a constant and distressing cough. SANFORD’S RADICAL CURE meets every phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loath- some and destructive stages. It is local and constitu- tional. Instant in relieving, permanent {fu curing, safe, economical and never-failing. Each package contains one bottle of the RaDICAL CURE. one box CaTARRHAL SOLVENT, and an Im- PROVED INHALER, with treatise; price, $1. POTTER DkvuG & CHEMICAL CORPORATION, SOSTON.

[By the Gaylord-Blessing Private Wire. ] From New York, 9a.m.: The brokers who are order brokers and specialists in several granger stocks said last night that the mar- ket was steadily hammered yesterday by the big bears, and notwithstanding the stories that Cammack was out of the street and outof the market, they knew better be- cause they had the selling orders through second hands to execute forthem. Vermilye, while not very bullish just yet, says that the prospects are certainiy brighter fur an im- proved market, especially for the low-priced stocks, in which there are pools and cliques at work for higher prices. ‘they have been buying such stock as Lake Erie & West- ern preferred and Colorado coal and there has been g00d buying of Wheel- ing & Lake Erie, Texas Pacific and preferred. Lackawanna and Reading, too, look well, and the traders were talking up the latter last evening. Missouri Pacific seemed to be the favorite bull cara last night, although it has already had a handsome advance. Mr. Knee- land is builishon the long ron for asmart and considerable rise in Union Pacific and Canadian Southern, and he does not want any of the fancies on this trip. 10a. m.—The decision of the court In the Sugar case is not expected for at least ten deys. Counsel were given till Saturday to flle papers In the case, and these are said tu be voluminous and to contain numerous refer- ences which will take considerable time to look up. The earnings of the Denver & Rio Grande for the third week of January increased $10,500. The Mobile & Ohio earnings are improving, and all the securities of the road are advano- ing. There is said to bea bull pool in the stock, but its price looks high enough to us. It has gone up from about 9. The War Department weather map shows snow throughout the entire winter wheat belt, The proportions of the Bank of England re- serve to liability. which last week was 35.20 per cent is now 39.90 per cent. The bullion in the Bank of Engiand increased £582,000; re- serve increased £867,000, From Chicago, lla. m.—Director Dexter of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy fs quoted as saying that the company’s statement, when all items of increase are iucluded, will show about 6 per cent earned on the stock. be taik here is that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy will either increase its dividend or de- clare an extra diykiend at the next meeting of the directors. 12 a. m.—The market has presented a pretty bold front this morning, with transactions pretty well distributed over the list. Mis- sour! Pacific and Reading have, however, been sufficientiy more active than other stocks to be considered as leaders. These two stocks are 4% per cent higher at this hour than they were lastevening. The improvement in the rest of the list is smaller excepting Oregon Transcontinental, which is up 1 per cent. The buying of this stock is said to be for account of the Villard party, at any rate, brokers who operate for them are the largest buyers. Trusts are inactive. Sugar is weak atacaeciine of % per cent. The others are featureless. Money easy at 4 per cent.

WHEAT—Only a little snow, only a rite! e sleet, but ’twas enough to nip in the bud the boom that had started in wheat. The snow mantle that covered the earth and bianketed the winter wheat crop, protecting it from Boreas’ fierce blasts (if ol 0 began blowing again), knocked about all the bull out of the mar- ket this morning. There was no response in foreign markets to yesterday's advance on this side, the first cables being no better than firm and this was a dis- couraging influence. There was enough,at any rate, to prompt, free and urgent selling at the openin inciuded in the offerings being some of the long wheat boughtin the past day or so forareaction. Bears took advantage of the weakness to get tn some of their hammering tactics and the opening of May saw the price 14@%&c lower at 794gc, it soon sliding down to Tec. All do- mestic markets were weak and deciining at the send off and the prospects for ‘‘that boom’’ seemed very shadowy. Keceipts showed no material change, and though export clearances of 31,400 pkgs of flour those of wheat were only 15,- > appeared resting point May, for some time it oscillated between 79lec and 795ec. Gradual! ever, a stronger and better tone crept into the mar- ket and with reactions elsewhere the price slimbed up to 7984@%c. It fell back to 795ec, when other —— declined, and at close there were sellers at vig@wsc, which is ke below ‘esterday. The only other trading was in July at 764@76%&c to T6lec and latter asked atclose. Spot grades were firm, but none sold, Offerings were light and sellers held very stiffiy at prices that buyers would notmeet. No.2 red | was offered regular on call at 77%c and 7 Tiee bid, but later it was salable at 77%c.

CORN was easier early in the day, and extremely dull, very little speculation being indulged in by the local crowd, and very few orders here from the outside. Thedeclinein wheat had its effect upon the market, as did the weakness displayed at other points. There was no let up to re- ceipts, but still the greater proportion did not stop here and shipments were large. Cables were ver firm and noted a good consumptive demand. March sold 4c lower early at 26%4c, and May held sellers there at 28lec and could nut be sold. a of a sudden great strength developed. The higher cash market helped along stronger enveeee om sey points, and May sold from 281: up bed? though it fell back to and closed at 26% og dat 26lec, and later 26\4@iec bid.

Now it seems the 11,200,000 bu stock of wheat reported as held at Odessa is really the stock held at all southerna Russian pares. which at same time last year had in store 24,00 bu. Exports ae sheat last week for Europe were 352,- 000 bu from Indi: a, and 1,280,000 bu from Baltic and other south of Europe ports, a total of 1,632,000 ba, against nearly 2,500,000 bu the preceding week and 2.900,000 bu for corresponding week last year. United Kingdom supplies of wheat and flour de- creased 55,000 bu last week.as imports and home deliveries were that much less than consumptive re- quirements. Jos. Boumphrey & Co., Liverpool,write under date January 8 to the Redmond Cleary Commission Co. **The weather has been very mild during the past week, and progress of the growing wheatrather teo rar id for safety. Prices are practically unaltered, but the consumptive demand continues very fair in- deed, stocks in Liverpool beiug only 300,000 quar- ters (of which 80,000 quarters is California) prevents any idea of much decline here until stocks are reconstituted. The consumption dur- ing December in Liverpool was about 15,000 qrs per week more than the corresponding period last year, though itis difficult to account for this, espe cially as English deliveries have been quite libetalgli winter. We think it very probable, if d they ee prospects are fulfilled as to the crops in the outhern hemisphere, i. e., a good outiook for the next crop both in America and E urope. that prices will give way during the spring months.” The International Elevator Co., operating thirty- seven houses in territe ry of the Northern Pacific Railroad, took in 2,000 bu wheat on two days lately, while in ordinary times they handle 30,000 to 35,000 bu per day. The area in India sown to wheat this year is about 27,000,000 acres and ofthis, 10,500, are in the Punjab and central} province es, where rain is needed.

Special to J. C. Ewald: CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. were gcenerall 23.—Wheat—Room traders, wheat, were sellers at the of ithe wmar- on the snowfall night and first quotations were at &c decline from yesterday's closing. The bearish influence of the ‘‘Beautiful Snow’’ was, however, later in the session counter- acted by reports ofrains in the western wheat sec- tions, and there was some _. buyin for local account on these rumors. We fail to under- stand why rains should be injurious to the growing plant. Advices from California are conflict- ing, though they mostly indicate good crop prospects on the l’acitic slope. Late English and Continental cables were quoted higher, and the closing of our market is tirm in consequence, but with an ample exportation surplus on hand, for which there is but a poor demand. Weare unable to have faithinany permanent advance and would advise ourfriends to take advantage of all small market ratlies to effect.short sales. Corn awakened to-day from a period of Rip Van Winkleism and showed considerable activity. Tre market ruled strong on covering by shorts and also good buying for long account. Oats were active, higher and strong on the good demand for the cash article at the eeaboard. Shorts have covered fairly. Provisions opened at top prices of the day.- Buy- ers was confined to covering by shorts and local scaipers. Packers were liberal sellers of product from the opening until the close on all hard spots. . G. MCCORMICK ‘& Co. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—The wheat market was almost stagnant to-day. The heavy sborts have covered and are awaiting developments.

C,, Jan. 23.—The chances ofa World’s Fair with the approval of the Government are gradually dimiaishing in the opinion of those interested. Chicago wants a site agreed upon first, then the bill to pass with its various conditions afterward. in such case the bill would surely fail. Every one in- terested is waiting patiently to see what the committee proposes to do. The House Committee on the World’s Fair to-day discussed the subject and referred to the sub-committee already appointed two propositions — one presented by a Mlssouri member, providing for a commemorative celebration of the landing of Columbus in 1892 and a fairthe following year; and another by Mr. Springer of Illinois proposing that the House proceed to seiect the site for the fair by ballot next Monday. The subcommittee, which consisted of Chairman Candler and Messrs. Flower and Hitt, was increased by the addition of two members. Tho Central Pacific. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—Mr. C. P. Huntington, Vice-President of the Central Pacific Railroud, to-day appeared before the House Committee on Pacific Baiiroads, and favored an extension of the time for the settiement of the indebtedness of the Central Pacific Railroad Co., and a reduction of the Intere.t to be paid the Government in the Vanderver bill. Mr. Huntington was asked and replied to many questions Ly members of the committees. Supervisor of Census for Missouri. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D.

The Secretary is very busy considering the question of supervisors just now and the announcement wili be made on Tuesday next. The Eight-Hour Work Day. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—At the meet- ing of the House Committee on Labor to-day the bill adjusting the pay of laborers, me- chanics and others, under the ¢ight-hour law, was referred to a sub-committee corisisting of Representatives Gest, Connell and Turner of New York. The committee has received data from the Executive Departments showing that it will require about $4;000,000 to adjust the accounts as proposed. FIFTY- FIRST CONGRESS. The Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—Mr. Vest pre- sented the credentials of W. A. Clark and Martin Maginnis as Senators elect from ‘the State of Montana. They read and referred, on r.

THE ACTION OF CONGRESS WATCHFD BY THE WORLD’S FAIR WORKERS. The Special Committee to Report Within a Few Days—The *t. Louis Guarantee Fund Now Far the Largest—The Time Said to Be Ample for Preparing for the Fair, AST night a number ofthe St. Louis dele- gation sentto Wash- ington in the interest of the World’s Fair, returned tothe city. The cause for their re- turn was that the House Committee will not hear oral argu- = nents, that the writ- ten briefs have all been prepared, and that the clainss of St. Louis have been so ¢ clearly set fort& that ‘Sz the presence of s0 $29 large a delegation ts ; not necessary. Among those who returned were Mavor Noonan and George Bain. Both reported that the situation was most favorable to St. Louis, and thatthe chances of success were excellent; far better than they had been when the dele- gation arrived in Washington. COURSE OF THE COMMITTEE. It should not be understood that there is no one to look after the interests of St. Louis at Washington, as this is far from being the case. A number of the most active members of the - gommittee are still at the national capital, and will remain untilthe question is settled. When the vote in .the House of Kepre- sentatives will be taken is @very 'wncertain. It is pretty weil un- derstood that the committee will make no report recommending any particular loca- tion, but will simply recommend that a World’s Fair be heid. It isthe general im- pression that 1892 will be named‘asthe date, and that six months will be set as the time during which the fair shail be kept open. Just when this report will be made is yet uncer- tain, but it Is expected that it will not be later than Tuesday next. When the matter is in the hands of the House therea! fight will com- mence. aoa THE SENATE COMMITTEE will recommend some particular site, but this, it is believed, will mot play any particu- lar figure inthe contest. The first question to be decided will be the time, and on this subject there are several opinions. Many of the New York men want the Fair postponed until 1895, believing that they will in that case have the best chance of securing it. Chicago favors 1893, while St. Louis and Washington wish the fulr held in 1892. The cause of this city was greatly strengthened by the news that Forest Park had been donated as a site by the city authorities. This at once puts St. far in the lead, as re- the amount of the guarantee The value. of Forest Park, as a site, is { estimated at about $1,500,000. To this should | be added the amount that the city will expend / ghouild st. Louis be awarded the World’s Fair. | A direct contribution cannot be made, but the _ city can make appropriations for improving { the park which will relieve the fund from that fuuch cost. Nearly $5,000,000 in cash have al- ready been pledged, and when the value of the site and the amount to be expended by the city* is added, the sum avaliable will considerabiy exceed! $6,500,000. This is more than $1,000,000 In excess of the New York subscriptions and about double the amount donated by Chicago. St. Louis is thus seen to be greatly in advance of its rivals as faras money is concerped. It hus a still ater advantage in regard to the time that ould be required to prepare for the fuir. THE TIME AMPLY SUFFICIENT. Jt has been siuted by the advocates of other cities that the time that will intervene be- tween the date at which the question of site is settied and the spring of 1892 is not sufficient to allow proper preparations to ' to be made. Whatever may be the force of this objection as regards other cities, those who have examined the matter in all its bearings declare that it does notin any way apply to St. Louls. This city, it is positively seserted, cun easily have * everything in readinesstor the fair. In the first place no time will have to be spent in pelecting a site or in preparing it for the Dulidings. Tbe grounds-upon which the fair - Swill be held, if it comes to St. Louis, will re- ‘guire no clearing and is in condition i} for the laborers to gO to work at once. \ Over $4,000,000 are immediately availabie, i the city authorities can at once puta lurge + force of men to work where they wiil do the ‘most goo @ay that with ampie funds available in St. Louis are not sufficient to erect such buildings as may be required within the period of two years is declared by many whoare anxious to secure the fair to bean unjust aspersion upon the ability of those having the fairin charge. Contractors have expressed their complete readiness ta undertake the construction of any buildings that may be planned, q: to bave them ready long obvbefore e required time. Other cities may find diftficgigy in so doing, but it is asserted that St. is will have none. Asa significant fact it is remarked that the complaints from other cities that the time is too short have only been made since the great strength of St: Lovis has been developed. The reason for delay is believed to be forthe purpose of preventing the Fair from being locateai in this city. WATCHES, MERMOD & JACCARD’S the best. Cor. Broadway and Locust.

THE SILVER MOVEMENT. Meeting of the Executive Committee in Washington on Monday. A telegram was received by Mr. John T. Field from Mr. L. M. Rumsey this morning, dated at Fargo, saying he would arrive so as to bein Washington next Monday, to attend the meeting of the Executive Committee ap- pointed at the National Silver Convention held here last November. Thecommlittee.was to have met last Tuesday, but failed to secure a quorum. Mr. Rumsey had made all arrangements to go at that time, but was compelled to go to Montana. The meeting at this time is re- garded asavery important one. Under the agitation preliminary to and following the con- vention held here,silver has greatly Increased the number of its friends, and it is becoming fashionable now to be asilver man. The com- mittee, at its meeting next week, will outline a plan of campaign to follow this up, and will adopt a memorial to Congress and the people atiarge. It is probable, also, that the Win- dom bill will come up,and that the Committee will oppose iton the ground that itis an ex- pedient, and does not represent a principle.

The tract comprises the entire site occupied by Gen. Washington and the Continental army | during the winter ’77-'78. Itcovers 190 acres | of beautiful roiling meadow land, broken up | here and there with abrupt wooded hills. The whole locality fs rich with patriotic mementoes, and every rod of the | ground is eloquent with suggestions of |thepast. In thecamp, every well informed | Ainerican school boy knows, was passed the | gloomiest and saddest period of the war for independence. There the patriotic army, ragged, half starved, disheartened, without shoes or piankets or proper clothing, slept at night during the whole winter on the bare earth, andin theday time, while proyiding firewood for their rude, comfortiess buts, their foot-tracks of blood on the frozen ground hallowing the very soil by the severity and heroism of their sufferings. Under these circumstances, thérefore, many public spirited citizens of Norristown are regretting that any attempt should be made to CUT UP THE TRACT and are advocating its purchase by the State of Pennsylvania as a public park or military cemetery. The State Legislature, however, wiilnot meet until next winter, and conse- quently no such action, even if it should be deemed expedient, can be taken until then. In the meantime, it is feared that the con- templated division of the property and erection of private residences thereon will go forward and thus render impossibie the pre- servation of the tract as a whole for historical and patriotic purposes. THE SITE OF THE. CAMP is but a few hundred yards south of the Schuylkill River and commands an extensive view of the lovely scenery along the course of the stream. The oid stone mansion occupied as headquarters by Washington andc_ his per- sonal staff fronts the station of the Philadel- phia & Reading road. Southward at a distance of a quarter of a mile is the spot where Wash- ington’s original headquarters stood, the bullding, new removed, occupied by him early in December, 1777. At a stone’s throw from there isthe bubbling spring Known as ‘*‘Washington’s spring,’’ on the right bank of Valley Creek. On the other side,a step below, is the site of the old Vailey Forge, from which the locality takes its name, built in 1767. To the southeast a few hunared yards, extend- ing IN A ZIGZAG LINE approximately north and south for a quarter ot a mile, are the remuins of the old intrench- ments and breastworks still easily distin- yuished by the irregular and scattered heaps of stones and the uneven elevation of the greensward. Totheright of these remains are the foundation stone and decayed timbers 6f Fort Washington, which served as the eastern bulwark of thecamp. Southwest of this a quarter of a mile further, is the site of the headquarters used by Gen.

The publication in the .

After that article appeared Marshall F. Mc- Donald, who was the attorney for the tin- horse men, cailed upon Mr. Clover to ask an explanation of a previous conversation. Mr. McDonald said: ‘‘Itold the Chief'that I did not Intend to demand the wheels if the de- partment wanted to institute further prose- cutions, and I learned from Huebler that he did not intend to begin the prosecutions ane’. I went to see Ashley Clover and he saia that when hereturned the misdemeanor igdict- ments he turned the matter over tothe Court of Criminal Correction and he did not propose to take any further action In the matter. When llearned that he had stopped the re- turn ofthe wheels I went to see him and askad him if he did not recall this conversation. Mr. Clover said he did, but he said that he met Mr. Overall one day and Mr. Overall asked him to return new indictments against these men. Mr. Clover said he wanted to know why Mr. Overall did not take the matter into the Court of Criminal Correction and proceed there under warrants, but Overall said he HAD APPLIED FOR WARRANTS to Prosecuting Attorney Claiborne and Clal- borne had refused them, ‘and,’ said Ashley, ‘Overall asked me as a personal favor to re- turn new indictments.’ ‘‘Now,’’ said Mr. McDonald, *'I don’t care whether they return these wheels or not, but Judge Harvey granted. an order com- marding the police to return tbhem and Chief Huebler said at the time that he did not propose to proceed any further against the tin horse men, and I do sec why Mr. Overall should bave made a re- quest in the matter.’’ MR. OVERALL WAS CALLED UPON and when the stateménts tlhut had been made were repeated to him he said: ‘‘Il did not ask Mr. Clover to return new misdemeanor in- dictments against these men and 1 did not say that Claiborne bad refused to issue warrants.

I have spent of myown money ponies § these cases, and certainly the police cannot be criticised for what they have done. They have made their case complete. Now Mr. Clover and Judge Normile say the offense is not a-felony.

The word ‘feloniousiy’ was omitted from them, which left them indictments drawn in the lanvuage of a felony charge but failing to charge a felony. Now I want. indictments that are good and 1 have asked Mr. Clover for them. If his assistant made a mistake in drawing the indictments he ought to correct it.’’ MR. CLOVER WAS ASKED . about the statement that Mr. Overal Mr. Claiborne refused warrants. Mr. Clover’s reply was: ‘‘Icannot say that Mr. Overall told me that. Ihada conversation with him On astreet corner, and that was my impres- sion of what passed between ws; but I cannot f!eay Mr. Overall said it, and if he seays he did notI will not dispute bis word. It was my impression of what hesaid. I did not know, however, that Mr. Overall insisted upon fel- ony indictments. If I bad I would not have touched cases. There is no question about the nature of the offenses: they are misdemeanors and I shall return misdemeanor indictments. The Supreme Court bas held in several opin- ions that only those games which are mien- tioned in the felony statute come under that statute. Tin horses are not mentioned and beyond any guestion the tin-horse men can only be prosecuted under the old cambling law, and these cases are only misdemeanor cases,’’ those MR. CLAIBORNE DENIED that warrants bad been refused by him or Mr. Dierkes. ‘‘They have never been applied for,’’ hesaid, ‘‘and never refused. I think that these ure felony cases and a number of good lawyers agree with,me. The sub- stance of the Johnson law is that any game thatis set up and maintained, where there is arake off, is a felony. Tin horse is only another form of roulette, which is men- tioned in the statute. and it dows not matter whether you call it tin horse or marble borse, it is afelony all thesame.’’ Meanwhile the police have stopped return- ing the tin boreesto the gamblers, and are holding the implements for Mr. Clover’s in- dictments. Butthere is little likelihood of these flagrant offenders being punished. Judge Campbell and Col, Claiborne hold that the offense is a felony, and therefore the Court of Criminal Vorrection has no jurisdic- tion. Judge Normile and Mr. Clover hold thattin-horse gambling is a misdemeanor, and therefore the Criminal! Court bas no juris- diction. In other words, both courts declare tin-horse gambling an offense, andeach de- clares tbat itcannot punish the offenders, so between the two there is a wide way out for the gamblers who have received back their implements, as well as for those who have not.

SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION, ON BOARD THE ATLANTA, TANGIER, MOROCCO, Jan. 2, 1890.— Getting under way at3:30 p.m. on the last day of the old year and parting company, off Oape Roca, with the Enterprise, whose com- mander wished us bon voyage and stood on his course to the northward, the squadron of evclution proceeded on its way to the coun- . try of the Moors, At dawn of the New Year Cape St. Vincent and along coast line, his- toric in naval annais, were visibie. The weather being very fine and the watersmooth, steaming tactics were indulged in toa great extent throughout theday. From ‘‘Echelon of Sections’’ the day formation, the vesssls formed acolumn, which !s a littie different from the ordinary column, being so arranged that the vessels cannot possibly run each other cown. Then by rigbt turn we formed line and closed into half distance. The next formation was ‘‘echelonright in front;’’ then, by left haif turn we formed line again. Another left half turn formed us into ‘‘echelon left in front.’’ Then the vessels formed into column and kept that formation up to the time of anchor- ing. All maneuvers were executed promptly and with much skill. At 10 a. m., after a ' j } i } ; ; own : | ' Monarch, | bave pleasant run of about forty hours at moderate | speed, wedropped anchorinthe harbor of Tangier. How striking has been the change from the grand old capital of Portugal to this ragged tumbledown, confused mass of archi- tecture. Forty hours has indeed brought us to the confines of a Barbary State. The very air seems impregnated with the fact. A Single merchant vessel, fiying the English flag, is here toremind us that commerce existe with the outside world; and a single vessel flying the Moorish flag Is here to re- “mind us that Morocco boasts a navy. At 11:30 the Chicago saluted the Moors with twenty-one guns, and immediately after- ward the works of a crumbling old battery were swerming with turbaned heads, and baog, bang, bang, came their salute in re- sponse. Several cases of influenza have man- ifested themselves on every vessel in the equadron, showing that Jack stands quite as much in need of a good, reliable nose trouble as any personage on shore, whatever his rank. With this exception the general health ofthe squadron is good. A fleet of boats, numbering about thirty-five belonging to the squadron, exercised this afternoon in the har- bor.

UNDER THE FAMOUS ROCK. *‘GIBRALTAR Bar, Jan. 6, 1890.—With the stupendous rock of Gibraltar towering 1,400 feet above them and bounded on allsides by the fatest monsters of the British Navy, the four saucy cruisers composing our squadron of evolution ride serenely at anchor—while models of symmetry and grace, fairand re- freshing to look upon. The tamous rock, with its galleries hewn out of the solid stone and bristling with guns, igone of the sights of the world, and, itis neediess to say, the object of greatest concern to those of our boys who are viewing it for the first time. The rock is separated from the main land by a low sandy neck of land called the neutral grvund,. ere stalk silentiy in full view of each other the English and Span- ish sentries. AtSan Roche and Algesias the Spaniards have erected extensive fortifica- tions, and a large garrison is The English garrison Gibraltar about 6,000 of their best troops maintain a vigilant arn@ sharp lookout. There is very little chance, therefore, of its being captured; even the mos thusiastic Spaniards admit this and are visibly desponda- ent in consequence, Gibraltar is generally said to command the straits, which are fifteen miles wide, but thie must be understood Ip a Pick wickian sense at the present day, as there is nothing to prevent steamers going through atanytime. While the western side of the rock nas been strongly fortified by man,pature has made its eastern face entirely inaccessible to assault—it is almost perpendicular. The town fs built atthefoot of the mountain, on the northwestern side, and the bouses, which are mostiy painted white, rise gradualiy above each other, looking very neat and pretty. The rock Its almost entirely barren and dotted with cavities. Obelisks also appear | at intervals, which at first sight impress one | with the bellef that they are tombstones. | They are, however, hollow and exist for ven- tilating purposes. Across the bay, nine miles distant, is Aigesias, a Spanish town of some importance, while looking toward the coast of Africa lies the famous Apes Hill, from where, old sailors will tell overran the rock. It is near ‘‘Taps’’ and the martial clangor of bugles resounds from the various barracks on the water front and from the ships of the British and our own squadron. The signal guns have beén fired and now all is still and the water assmootb asa mill pond. Not a breath of air is stirring and as we gazeat the huge dark rock in its still and tremendous majesty we feel that we are, indeed, in the presence of the mightiest sentinei nature has provided man toadopt fer good or ill, Our squadron though far from being “us formidable as the 10, 500 ton monsters which ile aimost beside them, willbear comparison in all that pertains to trimness, effectiveness, model and general man-of-war appearance.

A MIDNIGHT ATTACK. **ON BOARD THE ATLANTIC SQUADRON OF EVo- LUTION, BDAY OF TANGIER, Jan. 3, 1890.—On the hight of January 2, while the Squadron of Evolution luy quietiy atanchor intbe Bay of Tangier, Rear Admiral Walker issued an order to make a night attack on the Boston with the boats of the various ves- sels. The night being very clear, and the moon shining brightly, this andertaking was far from promising success to those who were detailed to eugage iu it. Notwitbstand- ing this, however, two boats managed to effect the object aimed at, viz., to approach the Boston within 100 yards without being discovered by her search lights. An arrange- meut having been effected on board the At- lunta, the boats, of which there were twelve, forming three squadrons of four boats each, left the vessel at 7:40 p. m. and proceeded in different directions. The Boston, which was anchored outside the rest of the fleet, bad the Yorktown on her starboard bow, distant about two cables, and the Chicago well astern on the same quarter, distant about three cabies, While the Atlanta lay almost directly abeam on her starboard side, distant about four or five cables. The first squadron, under command of Lieut. G. H. Peters of the Atlanta, pulled in close to the shore, near an old Roman tower, and laid on oars waiting the time of attsck which was set at 8:10 p. m. The second squadron, Lieut. Schultz of the Chicago commanding, pulled under the wake of the Chicago's starboard quarter, while the third squadron, commanded by Lieut, Cal- wellofthe Yorktown, lay off the Atlanta’s starboard beam. Nointimation ofthe attack was given the Boston’s people beyond a signal to test search lights, which the whole squadron received simultaneously. The search lights of the four vessels were. being used with brilliant effect all over the harbor, when the first squadron moved siowly up, with tarpaulins over bows and muffles on ours. It had been agreed that the boats should keep under cover ofthe Yorktown, which acted as a screen against the Boston search lights, then, when nearing her, three boats should dash around the bow at long intervais, and while the enemy’s search lights were diverted by their movement, the other boat was to dash around the stern and torpedo her. This plan met with success. The boat which Lieutenant Commander Coudon, Ex- ecutive Officer of the Atlanta and senior oficer in charge of the whole attack, directed, approached within a hundred yards and fired a green light in token of success. It is claimed that the Atlanta’s first whale boat, Ensign Rodgers, also managed to rench the prescribed limits without the search light playing on her. The remaining ten boats were unsuccessful, although the plan tocatch the Boston napping was udmirably and skillfully executed. That these exercises contribute much in arousing a spirit of rivalry and keen competition jamong the men there can be no doubt. There ex- ‘ats abundant evidence that each boat’s crew in matters ofthis kind far outdo their ordi- nary offorts. , BOUND FOR GIBRALTAR, Sunday, Jan. 6.—At sea.

A part of her jaw was torn away vy the explosion. She heardthe gang tmount their horses and retreat toward the mountains. The husband died in an hour without regaining consciousness. Fourteen buliet holes were in his body. Eight orten mén are supposed to have perticipated in the cowardly attuck. The persistency with which the officer has sought to suppress the moon- shiners of thac locality probably provoked the outrage.

The tracks were plainly followed to the mvuuntain regions, but all their efforts to catch them were in vain. The hunt was vigorously kept up by and citizens until last night, when the murderers were traced to their lair by United States Marshal Sims of Frestonburg. A youth whom the officers bad befriended in the past, the son of *‘Loot’’ Jacken the notorious moonshiner who was killed while resisting arrest last spring at Paintsville, gave the officer a clew Monday night. He related how for the past month a gang of criminals bad occupied a ‘‘sbhanty boat’’ on the Tug Branch of the Big Sandy, fifteen miles from the SCENB OF THE MURDER. Last night, at midnight, the marshal and posse crept up to the hiding place of the hunted men. The boat was pulled up in an old slough. So dark were the surroundings of the hiding place from overhanging trees, that one unfamiliar with the location might bave passed within a rod without suspecting its existence. The five men were found in bed and were secured before a shot could be fired. The place was literally an arsenal, W inches- ter rifles and revolvers of mage cal- iber lying around thé room iin i 0»pro- fusion. Each man slept with a. belt bristling with revolvers. A number of horses were found in the vicinity. The place is sup- posed to be the rendezvous for a regularly or- ganized gang of thieves.

Circuit Attorney Clover’s mill has begun to grind and it will not be long before indict- ments for boodling begin to drop out. .The true bills presented by the PostT- Dis- PATCH have been turned overtothe Grand- jury and in accordance with the request made by the PostT-DIsPpatcu the Grand-jary has summoned the witnesses whose names were attached to the true bills, and from them they - will officially obtain the information on which to base their own indictments. In the witness room in the third story of the Four Courts building, there assembled this morning abouta dozen gentlemen who sat in the aisle around the room and talked about everything under the sun. There was Maj. C. ©. Rainwater, President of the Merchants’, Terminal Co., John H, Overall, Vice-President of the Police Board and attorney for the Merchants’ Terminal; R. H. Kern, whose contract with the Mer- chants’ Terminal has already been published ; Al Bevis, President of the Mound City Dis- tilling Co., and Carl Moller, Secretary of the same company; Wm, L. Johnson, President of the South St. Louis Street Railway Co.; Joseph Griswold of the Laclede Hotei; Pas- chall.Carr, Secretary of the Missouri Safe Deposit Co.; Joseph Murphy, ex member of the House of Delegates; Andrew F, Brown, ex-Deputy Coroner; J. B. Case of the N. O, Nelson Manufacturing Co., and School Direc- tor John Brady. THERE WERE OTHER WITNESSES, but they were there on other business. These had stories of boodle and corruption, which the Grand-jury wante to hear and good- humoredly they waited to be called into the room. They jested with each other a good deal about whatthey were going todo. Mr. Kern said uniess those who were present tovk up a collection for ‘him before he went in he would tell on themall.

July 12, 1887, Council Bill, No. 4, reported by the Committee on Railroads with the recom- mendation that the bill be passed, at same meeting the blll was read the third time and passed by a vote of 23 ayes, 0 nays. July 19, Council Bill, No. 4, was signed by the Speaker of the House. WITNESSES TEMPORARILY EXCUSED. When Mr. Moller had given his testimony some of the witnesses in the Abearn-Jackson prize fignting case asked to be permitted to go ifthey were not wanted then. Mr. Clover told them when to come back, and they left. Then Mr. Kern was called in, but he came outina few minutes and said he had been excused for afew days. He was a@ witness, like Maj. Rainwater and Mr, Overall, in the Merchants’ Terminal case. Mr. Kern-received a one-ninth Interest In the capital stoce of thecompany, and the con- tract under which he received it stipulated that he was not to pay anything for it, but the only show of a consideration was that he should serve one year as a director of the com- pany. In consideration, however, of this in- terest, Judge Henry D. Laughlin used his in- fluence with the Mayor to get Mayor Nuonan to ‘consent to Phil Roban’s vote being cast for the bill. Mayor Noonan opposed it because Gov. Francis wanted it, and Councliman Ro- pee opposed it because Mayor Noonan wanted m to, This one-ninth was bought back from Mr. Kern for $2. 250.

McNamara says he beld in trust for the Merchants’ Terminal Co. and tur certain Councilinen. A CERTAIN COUNCILMAN, fearing that he would be frozen out of his stock should the company sell out its fran- chise or reorganize, went to Maj. Rainwater and wanted to give up the one-ninth and re- ceive cash. It was then that the Councilman told Maj. Rainwater thatthe Merchants’ ‘Ter- minal wasn’t giving them a ‘‘square deal,’’ Maj. Rainwater turned on him and said; ‘*Whbat do you mean by talking about asquare deal, you boodler?’’ But this one-ninth was taken back by the Merchants’ Terminal ang the Councilinan was given $2,200 In cash. These are the incidents the Grand-jury wants to hear about from Mr. Overali and Maj. Rain- water. Andrew F. Brown, ex-Deputy Coroner; Sec- retary Gobriich of the Mallinckrodt Chemical works, and Thomas E. Barrett, ex-Clerk of the House of Delegates, were summoned to testify to another switchtransaction. Tbe bil was House bill No. 140, and its record in the Assemply is as follows: IN THE HOUSE. June 24, 1887—House bill No. 140.

Atthe same meeting House Dill 140 reported engrossed, read the third time and passed bv a vote of 23 ayes andl no, Mr. Nor- den voting no. Novem ber 25, 1887, House bill No. 140 re- ported passed by the Secretary of tne Council, November 29, 1887, but signed by the Speaker of the House sume meeting, reported as being signed by the President of the Council. December 2, 1887, returned from the Mayor’s office with the veto of Mavor Francis. On motion of Mr. Gundiach was laid on the table. December 20, 1887, House bill No. 140, with Mayor’s veto made special order for January 7. January 20, laid over until January 24. January 24, 1888, House bill No. 140 was taken up as specia! order of business and Mr. Stone moved to adjourn. Motion carried. January 27, 1888, House bill No. 140 taken up. Mr. Gundlach moved to lay over until they all laugned. They talked about having their cells inthe jail picked out, and alto- gether, considering that they were waiting their turns to make statements that would re- suit in charges of felony against corrupt offi- cials, it was quite a jolly party. Al Bevis was the first witness called. He was sworn and gave his name and occupa- tion. Then, with commendable frankness, he February 10; motionilost. Mr. Huber moved to lay over until January 31; motion ruled out of order by Speaker, and ruling sustained. The question was put: ‘Shall the bill pass, the objections of the Mayor thereto ynotwith- standing?’’ and decided in the negative. IN THE COUNCIL, July 28, 1887, House bill No. 140 read the first time. July 29, 1887, House bill No. 140 read second time and sent to Committee on Public Im- told what he. knew about the corrupt use of money inthe Municipal Assembly. The sub- | stance of his statement was this: In the | spring of 1887 Mr. Bevis had introduced into | the Council a Dill Known as Council | bill No. 4, authorizing the Sst. Louls, | Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Co. to lay | aswitch from its main tracktothe Mound | City Distillery, whic): is situated on thecorner | of Boston and Dekalb streets. The bili passed | the Council and wentinto the House. There it was referred to the Railroad Committee and there it stuck. Mr. sevis went to the mein- bers of the committee and tried, but in vain, to have the biil reported. Eurly In July a member of the House caled on Mr. Bevis in hia office and asked him how badly he wanted that bill. THE NEGOTIATIONS. Mr. Bevis suid he was anxious to have it Dass, because the switch was almost a neces- sity to his business. The member said that if Mr. Bevis would ive him $500 he could have the billreported, ut Mr. Bevisthought that was wrong and unreasonable. It was the only way to get the bill through, hd wever; so be suggested that the price was too high, and ifthe member would be content to accept $200 they might come to terms. The member said that he would see what he could do aboutit, and wuvid let Mr. Bevis know. The House met that night, but the bill was not reported. Two hundred dollars would not buy grease enough to move it. Next day the member calledon Mr. Bevis again and said that $200 wouldn’t do. He asked for more and Mr Bevis raised the price to $300. The member again said he would sec what he couid do. That night the bill was reported and went through like it was oiled. Next day, July 13, 1887, the member went to Mr. Bevis’ office. Mr. Bevis had determined to be guarded in what he did, so he had told Carl oller, the Secretary, and his stenographer, to watch that transaction and see the money paid. PAYING THE PRICE. The member camé in and lightly remarked thatthe bill hud gone throughaliright. Mr. Bevis said yes, it had. Then the member eaid thut their agreement be fuulfilled, and Mr. Bevis in the presence of two witnesses paim the sum—$300. Thatowas the transaction, and that was the story Mr. Bevis told the Grand-jury. One peculiar feature of this is*that Mr. Bevis did not know the name of the member to whois the money was_paid, but he gave an accurate personal description of him, and montioned as a mark of identification that a certain portion of the member’s anatomy has suffered from an accident. To be sure that there was no mistake the member was sent for and placed ina position where Mr. Bevis could see him. Mr. Bevis looked at him and identified him as the man. Carl Moller was the next witness called. He told of the conversation he had with Mr. Bevis prior to the payment of the money and testified that he had seen a sum of money paid by Mr. Bevis tothe member at the time specified. This one case has been completed and the indictment drawn by the PosT-DISPATCH will be filled out with the name of the guilty ©x-member, and he willbe presented for trial, charged with bribery. The record of that bill and of its passage through the two branches of the Assembly is as foilows: IN THE COUNCIL. April 19, 1887, at the first regular session of the Council, Council bill No. 4, an orainance grunting authority to the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Co. to lay and maintain aspur or side track on Barton street, to the property of the Mound Gitv Distillery Co.,on the northeast ecornerof Barton and De Kalb streets, was introduced by Mr. Blakely by request.

A third party negotiated the saie of the vote and the Grand-jury wants to Know what Sec- setary Goerlich paid this third party 3300 for, and why the third party kept $200 of the mouey and only gave the member $100. JO8. GRISWOLD AND W. L. JOHNSON have information about the passage of the bill authorizing the Southern Street Railway Co. to extend its tracks from its terminus at Sixth and Market streets over and across certain streets, which the Grand-jury wants. They will ask about a proposition made by an ex- Member of the House to kill the bill if $1,000 was raised and paid to him. Joseph Murphy will be asked to tell abont the payment of $00 toa member of the House to secure the paseage of House bill No. 50, anthorizing the People’s Railway Co. to change its rouce and motor. Paschall Carr will be asked about the pur- chase of a box in the the Sate Deposit Co. It was in this box that a certain agent of the promoters of the elevated road placed en- velopes containing $20,000 whieh was to be paid to certain members of the House of Delegates when the bill passed. The envelopes were placed there in the presence of two members of the House of Delega'es andthey took one key, the agent the other. Before the time for the delivery of the money, however, rHE AGENT USED HIS KEY and saved the $30,000, but when the Grand- jury learns about the transaction indictments will be found, though the members did not get their bribes, That is what the Grand-jury will ask Mr. Carr about. School Director Brady will be called on to report to the Grand-jury what he told the Post: DISPATCH about the offer a member of the House of Delegates made to pay him $1,000 if he would vote to reinstate Jauitor Ahrean, who had been discharged. All this and mach more will the Grand-jury inguire about. It is not a single day’s work to unearth all the boodling, and the Grand-jury will probably not be ready to make a report on the boodle cases for several days. Only a few witnesses were directed to appear to-day. Some are summoned for to-mvurrow, when other cases than those investigated to-day were to be taken up. The members of the Grand-jury conducting this investigation are: Charles H. Bailey, foreman; William Krone, Louis Kollemeler, Bernard Berutio, Henry ©. Grawe, A. M. Averill, C. A.

THE CASE DISMISSED. During the trial in the afternoon, Mr. Loughborough pleasantiy surprised Mrs. Blow and ber friends by his attorney entreat- ing to dismiss the suit. Had he not done so he would probably have been nonsuiteda littie later. A large number of Mrs. Blow’s witnesses bad not been heard, and several were there whom Mr. Loughborough did not like to see go on the witness stand. Daughter Agaiust Father and Mother. A case somewhat similar to the above, but displaying more heartiessness, was begun in Judge Dilion’s court yesterday and continued to-day. Miss Clara Waldecker is the plaintiff. She a handsome woman 2¥ years age, and is well knownin this city. She is now living in Chicago. The defendants are her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Waldecker, who own a stove and hardware store on Franklin avenue. parents ontwo notes for $1,200 each, wiven her, she claims, in 1886 by her mother for movey ativanced or loaned to the old folks. She has made frequent demands for the money of tate, but the parents refuse to pay. Their defense is that they boarded and educated the young lady until she was 24 years of age, end they gave her the note more as a receipt for money she had paid them than as a promissory note, The parents in defense filed a bill for money expended on their daughter between the yvears 1881 and 1884, which amounted to more thanthe-um mentioned in the promissory note. In this biilthe board of two women, a Miss Fletcher and Miss Jennie Frazer, who were teaching Miss Walaecker music and manners, was ineluded. In the long list of items and dates appear items for ‘‘car- riage hire, wine,’’ etc., paid for by the parents for their daughter, who, when younger, was very pretty, accomplished and had many suitors. Miss Waldecker on the stand denied that many of the items mwen- tioned had been paid for her and said during is of part of the period covered by the bill she was inaconvent at Reading, Pa., and was there incurring very littie expense. She adinitted having every whim or desire gratified and that she always wore fine clothes. How she became possessed of 80 much money, and how she could afford to pay her own way and lend her parents over $3,000 in a few years was asked, and she replied: — ‘*‘That has hinge to do with tbis case. There now.’’ John A. en representing Mr. and Mrs. Waldecker, asked her if she was married, and she said she was ‘‘by verbal agreement.’’ Not wishing to burt her parents’ feelings Mr. Taity refrained from asking her what she was doing in Chicago, or other questions; ali of which she would have answered shamelessly and without hesitation. Her attorneys are Lester Babcock and Mason G. Smith. The case was given to the jury atl e’clock to-day. Legal Notes. A suit for divorce was filed by Mina Demsky married in Germany December 31, 1871. Claims he deserted her. Mre. Mary Baidwin has instituted = suit against Joseph Baldwin for divorce, alleging that she was married in September, 1880, and that be deserted ber in August, 1887. Mrs. Elizabeth Holt, who was divorced from her husband, William Holt, over a month ago, filed a motion for alimony a few days axzoand this morning Judge Dillon ordered the husband to pay his wife $40 a month and $100 immediately with which to buy furniture.

NO LAW FOR HER, A Pretty Widow Who Made a Queer Bar- gain With a Married Man, By Telegraph to the POsT-DIsPATcn. Fort Dopag, Io., Jan. 2%.—One of the lead- Ing attorneys of this city was visited the other day by Mr. Margaret Grabam, a fair young widow, who wanted the law to redressa curi- ous grievance, and who left very much dis- gusted when she found thatthe courts could not right her wrongs. About eight years ago, she * te time after her husband diea, sher ed an offer of marriage from a man ot méans and she was disposed to accept him. Before doing so she consulted J. R. Reed, a man in whom she had much confidence and who was her neighbor and was married. She laid the matter before him, and to her sur- that man.’’ **Why?’’ she asked. **Because,’’ said he tn a tender tone, *‘I want you for myself.’’ Now Reed’s wife was prise, he said, ‘*l don’t want youto warry | in poor health, and was not expected to live very long. It therefore appeared to the widow that her friend and counselor was only mak- ing prudent provision for the future, and as distnissed the latter and sat down to wait for She had a fair and full understanding with Reed that they should be married soon after the wife had left him a widower. So she waited and waited. One year, three years, five years, and still the wife persisted in living with a contrariness that upse: all calcula- tions. But the plighted troth held good. The widow and her lover borrowed each other’s money and got along on very social and intimate terms, so much so that some people in the community actually talked un- pleasantly aboutthem. Time went on, and even the stubborn wife gotto the end of her string at last, when seven years had passed from the date of the widow’s engagement. Then she fondly imagined that she was to have a new ring upon her finger, and she would soon sit at the same table with her be- loved and trade at the stores on bis account. But alas forthe perfidy of mankind. With- In six months from the death of his wife Reed, deaf to all appeals of confiding innocence, led a bDiushing young wirl to the altar and she be- came his bride. Aghast at this wickedness, the wronged woman wanted to invoke the law on Reed. ‘‘There must be soine law,’’ she said, ‘‘forsuch a demon as that.’’ Imagine her dismav when sbe learned there was no provision in the statutes for such cases. She went bome a sad and disappoinied woman, thinking of seven wasted years that would never come back to her and of the offer that she threw away. The Califernia Train Robbery.

W. H. Williams, editor of the Central Baptist. The President, E. W. Stephens, delivered the opening ad- dress. He was brief, setting an ex- cellent example to those who should come after him. He said this gathering was for business purposes. He expected to see* great good come from it, There was opportunity for improvement in the country papers of Missouri, and by an interchange of views and experiences much information could be acquired that would aid in this improving. He spoke of the relative influence of the country weeklies and city Anilies, the different conditions under which they were printed, and closed by impressing upon tne gentlemen present of the desirability discussing alltopics. He then introduced R. M. YOST, formerly city editor of the Missouri Republican, and now inthe office of the State Auditor at Jetferson City. Mr. Yost read a carefully prepared paper on ‘*The Editorial Depart- ment.’’ He thought that in these days of patent insides and patent outsides that many editors had lost something of that sense @f responsibility which was formerly deeply feltin the craft. There was less care taken in preparing tt.e paper than there should be, the business end monopolizing the eaergies of the editor. Mr. Yost showed an inti- mate acquaintance with his subject, and treated it from the standpoint of a country editor. His paper was much appreciated by the editors and was heartily appiauded. The association then went into THE DISCUSSION of questions suggested by the paper and apropos of the subject. Most interest was excited by the question as to what was the best news fora country pa- per,that referring to country correspondence, or shouid the exchange list be long or short. There was little* disagreement over what was the best paying news. Every speaker had a good word to say forthe printing of names. One ofthe editors said that he got all the names he could; hunted for items with nawesin them, even if hehad togo tothe police court for them. Everyone also agreed inthe usefulness and value of the personal column; but on the ex- change list there was disagreement. Mr. Stephens tavored a smali list confined tothe Congressional district in which the paper was printed with exceptionsjin favor of city papers. Mr. White wanted alist aslarge ashe could getit. It was hard to keep read up when the list was large, butthe man who ald it nada wider grasp of State politics and other matters of interest tothe people who read his paper. After lunch ‘*‘ADVENTISING’’ AND ‘‘SUBSCRIPTION’’ were taken up and discussed at considerable length. Papers were read by John A. Knott of the Hannibal Journal on the first topic and R. B. Speedofthe Nevada Mas on the second topic. To-morrow C. W. Crutsinger will have a paper on ‘‘The Mechanical Department,’’ 8. L. Lawson will read a paper on ‘‘Job Work’’ and W. O. L. Jewett will consider ‘*Newspaper Legislation.’ ’ PRONUIBITION PLANS. A Conferenceto Be Held at Sedalia on the 3d Prex. Hon. Frank M. Lowe of Kansas City, who was the Prohibition candidate for Governor in 1888, has set on foot a political scheme of some magnitude, and if he succeeds it will result in an interesting complication of the politics of the present year, In company with Rev. Jobn A. Brooks, J. _ 5. Hughes and other Prohibition leaders, he has broughtabout an arrangement for a conference of the leaders of all the organiza- tions ofthe State favorable to prohibition. The conference is to be held at Sedalia oa the 8d, 4th and Sthof February and will be at- tended by accredited delegates of the Prohi- bition party, the Good Templars, State Tem- perance Alliance, Powderly Knights of La- bor, Farmers’ Alliance, Wheelers and other organizations. The plan contemplates an agreement to support cundidates for the Legislature who willsepledge themselves to vote for temper- ance measures, and against any Senatorial candidate known to be opposed to Probibi- tion. The conference will be addressed by ex-Gev. St. Joun of Kansas, Rev. Jobn A. Brooks, Hon, Frank Lane and other Pronibi- tion leaders on the 8d, and by representatives ofthe other interests on the 4th. Personal ir- vitations have been sent out to leading men of the organizations above mentioned, to come as special dejezates and take part in formu- lating the platform and plans. Cut Her Threat.

RS. Clara Hoffman, the PAState President of the Woman’s Christian |; Temperance Union, has 4 just made an inspection of the Missouri! Peni- tentiary at Jefferson City, and to the Post- DISPATCH she makes a report, which, coming from that source, wiil startle the people of the State. Mrs. Hoffman went to the Penitentiary with a special view to ascertaining the condl- tion of the women con- fined there, and the dis- coveries which made on this were astonishing. ‘The manner yrwhich women treated in that institu- tion,’’ she said, better than barbarism. WhenlI learned the condition in which those poor, weak and un- fortunate females are, indignation rose within Their crimes were, I do not doubt, such as to justify severe punishment, the way in which to atone is a greater crime than they commit- ted. Unless the motive for punishment in our State is revenge and net reformation, then our system isin need of radical correc- tion, because the present policy of the prison me. officials in Jeffersun City, especially in regard their prisoners to women, is to improve psychically by maltreating them physically. Why, you cannot imagine the way those women live. Werelone of them 1 would iIn- finitely prefer death to existence under such circumstances. But I suppose you want to know moreabout what I saw than think. MRS. HOFFMAN’S STORY. ‘*I went to the penitentiary with three Jef- ferson City ladies, my purpose being to dis- cover how the women prisoners were treated there. I paid very littie attention to the men’s department of the prison and know very little about their prison life except what was told me. I observed, however, In pass- ing through the men’s part of the pen itentia- ry on my way tothe women’s quarters that the male prisoners liived in mention this to show a between their quarters and those in which the women are confined, Their cells presented some appearance of comfort. How different it was with the women’s! Not a suggestion of comfort there! Four men oc- cupied each cell. Their beds are like berths on boats, There were two upper and two lower berths. The window in the rear of the cell and the grated door furnished good venti- lation. In many of the cells there were tubies. In some bookcases. In all there were at least a few furnishings. When I first saw the cells on my way tothe women’s prison I thought they were bad enough. It was only after I had been in the women’s prison and seen the manner in which the poor fallen females were huddled together that { appreciated the superiority of the celis quarters, There is is much difference between the women’s dorm!i- tory and the men’s celis as between the cells and home. The male prisoners who are s0 icnlined can fix up their ceils so as to give them an appearance not altogether foreign to cosy. ‘*The women have not even an opportunitv to do that, though everyone knows how much more than men women desire to have their surroundings as nice as possible. ‘*'The women’sdormitory is a single room. In it are fifty-six beds, and they take up all the space there Is, except just sufficient to make an aisle in the center end barely give passageway between the beds. The whites and blacks—and nearly one- halt of the femalo prisoners are negroes— sieep inthe same, apartment. The windows are all on one side of the room, except, I be- lieve, one, which is inthe lower end. Now, just consider the inhumanity of having fifty- six women, white and black, sleeping in such aroom. Is it not enough to bring On sick- provision is there for those women whose bealth gives way under such confinement? Are they rémoved to a place of comfort where they can have attention and quiet? No; they lie there in that cattie peu—for when buman beings are huddled together in sucha way, the place is deserving of no better name—and, though their brains be racked with fever,they have to stand the noise made by the fifty-five other prisoners. And imagine a person weak from suffering, inhaling such atmosphere as is In that room at night. NEVER ANY. QUIET. ‘*When I went through the prison,several of I stopped beside the bed of one poor unfortunate creature. I do not w what w: the: : the women were sick. —— she point are is no but they are compelled whatlI cells. I contrast And what shale + very badly. I asked her she felt. She said she was very sick. ***Do you lie in this room all the time you are sick?’ I asked. ** *Res,’ she said. ***But do notthe other priseners disturb you with the noise they make?’ ***Yes,’’ sheanswered. ‘There is never any quiet here.’ **The men have a hospital to which they are taken when they are sick and where they how have at least qufet,’’ continued Mrs. Hoif- | man, **dbut the poor women, sick or well, are huddled together in the same place. In some of the little narrow passage ways be- tween the beds that I notice that some of the women bad Bet up boxes on which they had placed a few orna- ments. I madeinguiriea about various mat- ters of the matron who was our conductress, and she answered my questions until I an- nounced my intention of publishing what I had learned, and after that she was most ret- icentand begged me not to have anything putinthe papers. The matron is a widow woman of middle age. She has _ full charge of tne female prisoners and has no assistants except the sewing teacher. The sewing teacher, however, is only at the institution during the day. With all the re- sponsibility she hason her she gets but $50 a month, while the Warden, who has many as- sistants, is paid $2,300, and has his house, fuel and servants furnished him. That is how Missouri! treats women.’”’ THE WOMEN WHIPPED. **Are not the women, especially the colored women, often unruly?’’ ‘*Tne matron told me so, Sometimes the negro women bave regular fights.’’ ‘*How does sne inanage them then?’’ **T asked hnerthat. She said that whenever they became too troublesome she called in the guards and they whipped them. This informa- tion startled rae and I exclaimed in surprise, ‘whip them?’ ‘Yes,’ she said; ‘it; has to be done. Thereis no other way. They don’t hurt them much,’’ ‘fis there any system about their whip- ping?’’ asked the reporter, ‘‘I did not inguire as to that,’’ said Mrs. Hoffman. ‘‘I did ask the Matron whether the women were stripped to be lashed and she said they werenot. She seemed to regard the whipping as a necessity. Though she looked as if she might bave been a kindly woman she gave evidence of having been bardened by her surroundings, and what I do not doubt shocked her at first, probably as much as it did me, she now looked on as a matter of course. THE SEWING-ROOM. **After leaving the dormitory we were con- conducted to what is called the sewing-room. Here the prisoners are taught to ply the needle by an Instructress who comes every morning and remains until evening. This room is so small for ita purpose that with the machines and wemen in it, one can scarcely move around. in this room on Sunday a Sab- bath-school is conducted for an Lour by Chris- tian ladies of the city. It is only since the in- cumbency of the present Warden, so I was informed, that these kindly minis- trations to the women prisoners bas been permitted. Even now the softening influence of women’s presence and words is denied tothe men. Thereisu« chaplain who comes to the penitentiary every Sunday and conducts services foran hour. That is all the religious instruction they have. Why itis that Christian ladies are forbidden to hold publ:é meetings in the prison for the benefit ot the menI donot know. Every one of those men loved amother, once, and how could their hearts be softened more quickly and more permanently than by havingthe mem. ory of their mother recalled by the presence of good women.’’ *‘Teaidtothe ma:zron: ‘Do you not notice any softening inthe women since the Sab- bath-schoo!l has been established?’’ ** *Yes,’ she said, ‘there is some.’ IMMORALITY IN THE PRISON. ‘‘Were there any otber facts which you learned about the women prisoners’ condi- tion?’’ ‘*Yes, there was one fact which I wish par- ticularly to mention. As I was. passing through the dormitory I noticed a white baby running around.’’ **l asked the matron: ‘Whose child is that?’ ‘‘It is a colored woman’s,’’she sald. ‘*The child was aswhiteaslam. The mother was not biack, but she was a negress.’’ **Where was the child born?’ *‘Inthe prison. I learned the story after we had left the institution, One of the ladies who accompanied me toid me the story. The negress, she said, had been a ‘trusty’ and was engaged in the house of one of the prison officials. It is the custom at the Penl- tentiary to have quite a number of men and women employed outside. These are calied trusties.. Many of them are employed by families. What they earn goes to the State. Only the better (class of prisoners are trusties. The mother of the white child was one of these. She was engaged to do work for the family of one of the prison officials. When she was returned to the prison she was about to become a mother. My informants told me that the prison official was not charged with the paternity of tue chiid, but it was a Known fact that it was while employed in his house that the mother became pregnant. The child is now being reared in the prison. RUN FOR CONTACTORS. ‘*‘As we walked away fromthe prison, I talked with my companions about what we had witnessed and what we had learned, I toldthem thatIeconsideredthe treatment of the women to be bordering on -barbarity. They agreed with me. One of them said: ‘The policy ofthe prison is simply to get the most work posalvle out of prisoners for the benefit of the contractors. ‘The improvement of the prisoners is not considered. They are worked with only the one objectin view—to make money for the contractors. ’§ ‘‘And what isthe result of this manner of conducting the prison?’’ continued Mrs. Hoff- man. ‘‘Does the punishment make the pris- onere better? Very few of them, I imagine, ever come out of there except as determined enemies against society. Why not Se strict, but at the same time bumane, and try to treat them as human beings and not as brutes? Most of them are hard characters, it is true, but their treatment is not calculated to make them any softer. There were some of the women prisoners, who certainly looked as if they might be susceptible to kind and good influences. Would it not be better to try and redeem them than to pursue the plan of treating them as _ brutes What we ought to have In Missouri isa pian on the order of that which Ocl. Ingersoll adyocates.

The temperance meeting at Central Union Church, Eleventh and Locust streets, was at- tended by a crowd ofa bundred ar more last night notwithstanding the storm. Col So- bieski related many instances where intoxication . resulted in defeat of the Federal arms during the late war, and quoted copiously from Sénator Cockrell’s speech in the Senate on the joint rule exciud- ing liquors from the Capitol building at Wash- ington. He paid a glowing tribute to the Senator for his defense of sobriety among the nation’s lawgivers; but, sald he, ‘*‘. haye no quotations from Senator Vest on the subject.’’ He said he was a soldier in the army which beld Har- per’s Ferry in 1863, when that strong point was taken by the Confederates; ‘‘and,’’ said he, ‘‘i personally know that our General was drunk allday andthatthe capture of thecamp and 12,000 men was due wholly to that fact.’’ Aftera speech by Ben Deering the pledge was offered and fifty persons signed it.
